  • New collector-style £20 note celebrates Scotland’s return to the big stage.
  • Note features an image of Scott McTominay’s legendary goal.
  • Auction and prize draw proceeds will support Crisis Scotland, the national charity for people experiencing homelessness.
  • Fans can win their own limited edition note if they crack the code to special ‘vaults’ in city centre locations.


Bank of Scotland has revealed a brand new, limited edition £20 banknote featuring an image inspired by Scott McTominay’s iconic overhead-kick – created to celebrate Scotland’s return to the top table of international football.

The design blends traditional banknote elements with imagery inspired by one of Scotland’s most memorable modern football moments, set against the Forth Bridge.


Just 100 brand new notes featuring the unique design have been printed and fans can get their hands on one through a mix of collector auctions, a public raffle, and two pop-up ‘vaults’ appearing for one day only in two city centre locations – Glasgow and Edinburgh. Fans who correctly crack the code to the vault will score one of the limited edition notes.

Proceeds from the auction and prize draw will go to Bank of Scotland’s charity partner, Crisis. Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness; it provides services directly to those who need it, and campaigns for the changes needed to end homelessness for good. Bank of Scotland is supporting Crisis in its aim to end homelessness altogether in Scotland by 2040.
 

How can fans get their hands on a Scott McTominay note?

Collectors’ auction: A limited number of the brand new notes with the unique design, along with a pair of signed McTominay boots, will go under the hammer – the online auction is live now and runs until 11am on Friday 26 June.

Securing qualification in such dramatic fashion is a moment fans will never forget, and we wanted to mark it in a way that’s rooted in Scottish identity. Like football, banknotes have long been part of our country’s story, and this limited edition £20 note combines those two traditions. Scott’s overhead kick is already regarded as one of the nation’s greatest ever goals. It’s been a privilege to work with him to bring it to life in such a unique way, and we’re grateful for his support in helping raise funds for Crisis as they work to end homelessness across Scotland.

Reaching the biggest stage of world football is something every player dreams of, and I know it means everything to our fans. Moments like that belong to everyone who follows the team, so seeing my goal featured on a Scottish banknote feels incredibly special. Being able to work with Bank of Scotland to turn it into something that also supports Crisis and the work they do to tackle homelessness makes me even more proud."

We know that homelessness is not inevitable and together we can end it. Funds raised through the auction and prize draw of this special banknote will help Crisis support people to rebuild their lives, while also campaigning for the changes needed to end all forms of homelessness in Scotland by 2040. We’re delighted to be part of a campaign that channels the energy of such an iconic Scottish football moment into practical support, helping more people to leave homelessness behind for good and creating a system where it can be prevented in the first place.
